DTC P0724 Brake Switch "B" Circuit High


DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this circuit is to prevent the engine from stalling while driving in lock-up condition when brakes are suddenly applied.
When the brake pedal is depressed, this switch sends a signals to the ECM. Then the ECM cancels the operation of the lock-up clutch while braking is in progress.

DTC No.
DTC Detecting Condition
Trouble Area
P0724
The stop light switch remains ON even when the vehicle is driven in a STOP (less than 3 km/h (2 mph) and GO (30 km/h (19 mph) or more) fashion 5 times. (2-trip detection logic).
  1. Short in stop light switch circuit
  2. Stop light switch
  3. ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

This DTC indicates that the stop light switch remains on. When the stop light switch remains ON during "stop and go" driving, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the stop light switch and the MIL comes on and the ECM stores the DTC. The vehicle must stop (less than 3 km/h (2 mph)) and go (30 km/h (19 mph) or more) 5 times for two driving cycles in order to detect a malfunction.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1.READ VALUE USING DATA LIST
HINT:
Using the intelligent tester Data List allows switch, sensor, actuator and other item values to be read without removing any parts. Reading the Data List early in troubleshooting is one way to shorten labor time.

  1. Turn the ignition switch off.

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

  1. Turn on the tester.

  1. Select the item "Enter / Powertrain / ECT / Data List".

  1. Follow the instructions on the tester and read the Data List.

    Standard:

    Item
    		Measurement Item/
    Range (display)
    		Normal Condition
    Stop light SW
    		Stop light switch Status/
    ON or OFF
    1. Brake Pedal is depressed: ON
    2. Brake Pedal is depressed: OFF
    NOTICE:
    In the table above, the conditions listed under "Normal Condition" are reference conditions. Do not depend solely on these reference conditions when deciding whether a part is faulty or not.

  1. Remove the stop light switch assembly.

  1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard resistance:
    Switch position
    		Tester Connection
    		Specified Condition
    Switch pin free
    		1 - 2
    		Below 1 Ω
    Switch pin pushed in
    		10 kΩ or higher
    Switch pin free
    		3 - 4
    		10 kΩ or higher
    Switch pin pushed in
    		Below 1 Ω

  1. Install the stop light switch assembly.

  1. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below when the brake pedal is depressed and released.

    Standard voltage:
    Condition
    		Tester Connection
    		Specified Condition
    Brake pedal is depressed
    		A24-36 (STP) -
    Body ground
    		10 to 14 V
    Brake pedal is released
    		Below 1 V
